Love the one you're with!

Remember that song? Cheesy, but love the message.

Today, I am feeling overwhelmed with the need to hug everyone and have everyone feel ok, including me. There is so much going on in the world to worry about and it's smeared all over the news. It's talked about over the radio airwaves. Hard to avoid hearing about - and feeling along with them - the heartache that you, your family, or your neighbor are going through.

Being in the Detroit area, in the automotive capital, and in the state with the largest unemployment rate, I am troubled with wanting to fix it and not knowing how.

Today, I refuse to complain about anything. NOT ONE I-O-TA. Hold me to it, you guys! Well, except maybe the clock. That darn thing ticks too much. Ok, so I want it to be the only thing that's ticked off today. ;)

Remember my word for 2009? Yep, REACH. Today I'm using it.

I want to REACH out and say it's going to get better. It has to. Share some hope, optimism, spend any money you may have to help someone today, uplift, and if anything, hug. If you are not all too comfortable hugging peeps, well, smile. If you are struggling to rub those pennies together - hugs and smiles are free. Love the ones you're with. We're all in this together.
